Deltona Hotel Starts $600,000 Project To Expand Building

September 17, 1986

The Best Western Deltona Inn at 481 Deltona Blvd. has started a $600,000 renovation project to expand its lounge, restaurant, lobby and banquet facilities, said general manager Harry Granoff. The addition of 2,300 square feet will bring the 135-room hotel's size up to 7,000 square feet, he said.

''This town is growing,'' he said. ''We hope to give more of the local people a place to go.'' The hotel has approximately 90 employees and may hire a few more waiters and waitresses when the renovation is complete, Granoff said.

The restaurant and lounge area will be completed Dec. 18 and the rest of the project should be finished Feb. 15, he added.

The inn was built in 1964 and remodeled a decade later. Granoff's parents, Pearl and Robert Granoff, bought the hotel seven years ago.
